As part of the We Believe Campaign, a Ronald McDonald House Charities® Endowment has been established at the Alpha Delta Pi Foundation. This fund will allow any Ronald McDonald House® throughout the world to apply directly for grants from the Alpha Delta Pi Foundation, allowing us to provide support for:
- Houses that do not have an ADPi chapter or alumnae association nearby supporting them
- New Houses being built
- Existing Houses being renovated
- Family Rooms that are being expanded and renovated
Alpha Delta Pi supports approximately 40% of local RMHC® Chapters worldwide, leaving significant room to grow our support.
